I note that there are only five (good) messages in alt.food.wine
in the last few weeks, that reach 200 lines. The shortest M'I.5'
message posted this morning is 207 lines. Perhaps that information
could be something that could be used in a filter. But perhaps not
with a simple Thunderbird filter which only considers (1) Subject;
(2) from; and (3) date.

Could spam assassin help? Is there a way to run news thru spam
assassin? Could a Bayes filter help? The longer I think about this,
I think we are playing a game. We set up road blocks and he or she
devises a way to go around it. (Yuck! I just succeeded in making a
working filter in Thunderbird.)
